The Vincent Price Shrunken Head Kit was based on his family recipe.

But Charles Manson was by far the oldest member of his cult, and even he was still in his 30's at the time of the Tate/Bianca murders. Is Brad Pitt young enough to play that role?

The Curse (1987). I just discovered it a week ago on youtube and thought it was swell.

There are still currently two of them on youtube listed under its American distribution name "Gates of Hell (1980)", and one is better quality than the other.

Double feature of "City of the Living Dead" and "House by the Cemetery", both currently available on youtube with nice picture quality. My wife was out with the kids all day, and I had thrown out my back the day before, so I watched both films while stretched out on the wood floor with an ice pack and a bottle of…

I was going to say the same thing. I have so many memories of watching that movie by myself on Showtime in the middle of the day as a 12 year old and feeling like a complete loser.

More like Kirsten DUNCE.

I'm nearly positive that only "Discs of Tron" (not the original Tron game which was around a little earlier) offered an environmental version. They both have unusual control configurations that are hard to replicate on any emulator; a spinner for one hand and a joystick with attached fire trigger for the other hand.…

I've been fawning over the "Discs of Tron" environmental cabinet for about 20 years. It's like stepping into a new world. It even has surround speakers.

I have the Missle Command one. Only listened to it once, but I like to display it at the front of my record stack.

I've designed and built four emulators: A pinball, which gets the most play (original Williams cabinet containing three monitors), a multicade with joysticks, trackball and spinner so it plays pretty much anything, a lightgun cabinet, and a cocktail table. I used to own a Pin-Bot that I bought super-cheap, fixed up…

I think what helped kill the system was the vast amounts of substandard VCS games manufactured by third-party companies. People were buying those for upwards of $30 each back in '82 (that's about $75 in today's money) and got tired of getting burned. But Atari was pretty consistent with the playability of their games.

I just picked up a big box of Atari cartridges at my local swap meet, complete with their original packaging. Even got some I really wanted as a kid but never got a chance to play, like Star Raiders and Swordquest. It's easy to understand that they wanted something eye-catching on the front of the box, but you turn it…

I was sure this article was going to be about the waterphone when I read the headline.

That was my computer throughout junior high. I subscribed to a magazine that published code so you could program your own games. I remember spending hours copying down the most elaborate one yet (for an ersatz "Pitfall" clone), then plugged in the cassette recorder and crossed my fingers while it transferred. But…

For what it's worth, I wrote my first program on the Atari VCS. Got the "Basic Programming" cartridge on Christmas morning, along with the required keypad controller.

Wow, checking email on stage? That really happened? I elected to skip the 3-D show (too expensive), but saw them in 2005 on the Minimum-Maximum tour and was similarly underwhelmed. It felt like a corporate powerpoint presentation. Such a disappointing contrast to the show I saw in 2000, during their first tour of…

My favorite of the three is definitely "Kraftwerk 1". Lots of experimentation, and some heavy grooves thanks to Klaus Dinger of NEU! on drums.

They have to upload every sequencer program via audio cassette interface, causing a five minute gap between songs.

They're still basing their live shows around "The Mix", a record that came out in what, 1990? And that was just an album of kraftwerk doing kraftwerk covers. I think the reason they won't release new songs is because Ralf is afraid it won't measure up to earlier material, and so might tarnish their legacy. So instead…
